The Gators came into Columbia ranked No. 8 and left with a 45-17 beatdown. Jon Sumrall didn't hold back afterward: "Embarrassing performance in every phase. Starts with the coaching, starts with me." We break down what went wrong, who has to answer for it, and whether this team can regroup before South Carolina comes to The Swamp.
🐊 In this episode:
The final: No. 25 Missouri 45, No. 8 Florida 17. Florida drops to 4-1 (2-1 SEC) after a 4-0 start that included wins over Auburn and No. 4 Ole Miss.
Run game shut down: Jadan Baugh was held to 13 yards on 12 carries, and Florida averaged 1.7 yards per carry behind an O-line with four new starters.
Defense gashed: Missouri's Jamal Roberts ran for 211 yards and 3 TDs, and Austin Simmons went 23-of-30 for 340 yards and 2 TDs.
Bryce Thornton out: the senior safety tweaked something before the game, and the secondary had nothing to lean on without him.
Aaron Philo's day: 21-of-34, 1 TD to Dallas Wilson, sacked 3 times.
Penalties: holds that wiped out touchdowns, plus personal fouls.
Sumrall unfiltered: "sick to my freaking stomach," "I don't know that we're a very mature team yet," and why accountability starts with him.
What's next: South Carolina at home Oct. 10, then at No. 1 Texas and Georgia in Atlanta. Is the Playoff still in play?
